How you sign in
This depends on who you are
If you are | You sign in with | If you have trouble |
An athlete, coach or staff member at a national sporting organisation | An email address and a password you set yourself when you were invited | Your NSO Administrator, or the SUMMIT support channel |
An HPSNZ or Sport New Zealand staff member | Your normal work account, the same credentials you use for email | The Group IT service desk, because the account is not a SUMMIT one |
How long you stay signed in
While you are using the AMS, you stay signed in.
Every action resets the clock. You will not be interrupted part way through a task.
If you stop using it, you stay signed in for up to 10 hours
Come back within ten hours and you will still be signed in.
After that you sign in again.
It takes a few seconds and does not affect any of your data.
The 12 hour limit
A twelve hour limit exists alongside an inactivity limit
Provided a person keeps using SUMMIT, they can stay signed in indefinitely. Only inactivity ends a session.
Every user will need to sign in again at least once every twelve hours, however actively they have been using the system. The two limits work together and whichever is reached first applies.
Limit | What it measures | What ends your session |
Ten hour inactivity | Time since you last did something | You stop using SUMMIT for ten hours |
Twelve hour maximum | Time since you signed in | Twelve hours pass, whether or not you have been using it |
For most people the inactivity limit will be reached first and nothing will feel different. The twelve hour limit affects someone who uses SUMMIT on and off across a long day without a ten hour gap, for example signing in during the morning and still working in the evening.
Using SUMMIT on shared devices
Always sign out when you finish. On a shared laptop in a team room or gym, staying signed in means the next person sees athlete information under your name. Signing out is the only reliable way to end a session on a device you do not control.
Saving your Work
Nothing is lost when a session ends
Information you have SAVED is stored in SUMMIT, not on your device.
Being signed out does not delete or affect it. Anything typed but not yet saved will not be kept, which is the same as any other website.
